Always let God's will be done in your life!
What do our heavy hearts prove but that other things are sweeter to us than His will, that we have not attained to the full mastery of our true freedom, the full perception of its power, that our sonship is yet but faintly realized, and its blessedness not yet proved and known? Our consent would turn all our trials into obedience. By consenting we make them our own, and offer them with ourselves again to Him.
—H. E. Manning
Nothing is intolerable that is necessary. Now God hath bound thy trouble upon thee, with a design to try thee, and with purposes to reward and crown thee. These cords thou canst not break; and therefore lie thou down gently, and suffer the hand of God to do what He please.
—J. Taylor
It really is all about accepting the will of God in everything in our lives. Look at everything as a blessing from Him! Let Him control you, surrender to Him, abandon yourself to that model, Jesus, that God gave us! God really is the only one who can bring us peace in this world! Nothing else ever will! This morning I read this beautiful quote, "Practice submission to the will of God, accepting everything that will happen during the day whether it comes directly from God or through persons." It really resonated with me so profoundly. Not only does God instruct and lead us, but He puts people in our path that also lead us to make decisions to do His will be done. I love the Book, To Love is to Give, by Mother Mary Angela Truszkowska. It has a prayer or reflection for each day of the year. This one is a gem for sure! God is using people in our lives too, even me, to do His will. I see so many people that reject God, they reject you too when you speak about God or Jesus. For some reason the truth hurts. Or is it sin that bothers them. They try to make so many excuses for sin, hate, negativity, and evil. When you talk about Jesus, it makes them reject you too, they cannot argue with the truth or logic. They cannot argue with God, so they just reject you, they cancel you, they avoid, and ignore you. They want nothing to do with them, as the truth and Jesus are just so inconvenient for them, it is the true inconvenient truth of this time! But honestly, in my 62 years on Earth, I am a firm believer in accepting the will of God be done in my life. To surrender to Jesus, be in complete abandonment to Him, following Him, trying to reflect, forgive, imitate, and love like Him! That is what God wants us to do! I hope even though I have been cancelled by so many friend, old coworkers, old colleagues, family, and others, maybe it is so of Mother Mary, maybe God is using me too with them, but they are rejecting me, they do not like God's truth. Even recently youtube cancelled me too, they censored and removed my access, just because I write about thanking Christian singers about Christian and Christmas songs thinking them for their music, discipleship, and talking about Jesus and the miracles of God. Youtube does not like you talking about Jesus or the miracles of God, they call it spam, scams, and deceptive selling. I honestly do not believe you can span, scam, or sell Jesus, but they do not like the truth, like some people today. Nonetheless, I am going to follow Jesus, love like Him, and always accept God's will be done in my life!
